SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq:RMBS), one of the world's premier technology
licensing companies, announced today it is engaging with the Industrial
Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan, one of the world's
leading research institutes, on the development of interconnect and 3D
packaging technologies.
In addition, Rambus has joined the Advanced Stacked-System Technology
and Application Consortium (Ad-STAC), a multinational research
association led by ITRI. Rambus and ITRI will work together as members
of Ad-STAC on the development of system integration using silicon

system integration using silicon interposer technology.
"Collaborating with leading research institutions, such as ITRI, is an
effective way for us to advance 3D packaging technology for the broader
manufacturing community," said John Kent, vice president of Technology
Development at Rambus. "Combining Rambus experience in high-performance
system design and ITRI package research experience can enable new
breakthroughs in 3D IC system integration and design."
